Can we filter data and insights of Video Stream Analytics?

VNIS Video Stream Analytics offers a wide range of insights into the user’s video engagement and quality of experience (QoE). However, with so much information available, sometimes it is difficult to know which information we needed in order to address specific concerns.

With that, Video Stream Analytics is provided with filtering capabilities to make it easier to pinpoint the pressing concerns of users and viewers. By using filters, it is possible to narrow down the information to identify the root cause of a problem and the areas to focus on for improvement.

You can find the filter option in the topmost left area of the main engagement chart.
